Covid 19, popularly known as Corona virus, presents us with unprecedented challenges. We are constantly learning and updating our response to the changing situation on the ground. Here's what you can do, in short:

1. Be safe. If you keep safe, you can help others else you add to those who need help. If you are volunteering in person, do read our Guidelines for Corona Volunteers. 
2. goVirtual. We have always supported Virtual Volunteering. But #socialdistancing and #workfromhome have ensured that this is our most practical and popular initiative right now. Also, Check our 21 ideas to Volunteer From Home - and suggest what can we add therein

2. Contribute to supply essentials and food ration for relief to the underprivileged and marginalised communities in remote cities and remote town and villages
3. Support migrant laborers: As Corona hit India and as the 1st #juntaCurfew was announced, most of us were worried and confused. But no one predicted the biggest challenge we have faced since - the plight of migrant labourers, their exodus from employment hubs, the lack of transport, food, and shelter, and how they have been turned off from one checkpoint to another. The situation demands basic and fast relief in the remote villages, deserted highways, and border checkpoints. Read how iVolunteer together with our India Fellow network is working to provide direct cash relief to migrant families. This is the rarest of rare times when iVolunteer seeks more than your time - donate now.
